Cross reference textual output of code evaluation

[dbobak]

As far as I know, it is not possible to cross reference output of the code if the result is not picture (eg. chart) or table. Would it be possible to add that possibility in the future?

Below I show the code and it's output I would like to reference:

library(ggplot2)
library(oxcAAR)
setOxcalExecutablePath("~/OxCal/bin/OxCalLinux")
my_date <- oxcalCalibrate(18135,25,"KIA-12345")
my_date

And the output is:

=============================
    R_Date: KIA-12345
=============================


BP = 18135, std = 25


unmodelled:                    posterior:

one sigma                      
20190 BC - 20090 BC (68.27%)   

two sigma                      
20250 BC - 20040 BC (95.45%)   

three sigma                    
20303 BC - 19977 BC (99.73%)   

Calibrated with:
     Atmospheric data from Reimer et al (2020)

This is now possible on 1.4, with the following syntax:

::: {#fig-1}

```{r}
#| echo: false
cat("This is text.")
cat("And so is this.")
```

This is a figure caption of textual output.
